在数据创建表时，遇到ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint 问题

数据库已存在表classroom（building,room_no,capacity）,

情况一：

在创建表section;

1. create table section
2. (course_id varchar(20),
3. sec_id varchar(20),
4. semester varchar(20),
5. year varchar(20),
6. building varchar(20),
7. room_no varchar(20),
8. time_slot_id varchar(20),
9. primary key (course_id,sec_id,semester,year),
10. foreign key (building,room_no) references classroom
11. );

 

就出现ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint  的错误；

原因很简单，设置外键的语法应该是这样的  foreign key (a,b,...) references table_name(a,b,...)

只需将以上语句（ foreign key (building,room_no) references classroom）改成 foreign key (building,room_no) references classroom（building,room_no）这样既可！！

 

情况二：同样是错误：ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint问题；

已存在表classroom（building,room_no,capacity）的主键是由building，room_no组成，

如果另外一张表A外联表classroom，外键的设置不能单独的building或room_no，只能设置为classroom和room_no
